The really amusing thing is how seamlessly they blended together the original commercial with the fan(?) made end.

If there's one silver lining to Sears going out of business it's that fewer people will end up buying one of their lovely appliances.

Exploration is ill-advised.
I always found American ads incredibly weird compared to Australian ads. Maybe the latter have more of a lower-budget, bombastic charm to them. And like shamefully catchy jingles and hammy acting.

There used to be so many of them and pretty much each and every one of them was hilarious.

I don't know if they still do them. I don't think so but I haven't watched cable in over a decade.
